Ivrea Shampoo containing 0.5% Ivermectin can effectively kill head lice and reduce live eggs, but a single wash may not completely clear all eggs.

🩺 Effectiveness for Head Lice and Eggs

• Ivermectin works by paralyzing and killing lice, making it effective against active lice infestations.
• It may not fully eliminate all eggs (nits) in one wash because eggs are more resistant; a second treatment after about 7–10 days is often recommended to catch any newly hatched lice.
• Complete clearance usually requires following the product instructions carefully and possibly repeating the treatment.

🩺 Recommendations

• Use the shampoo exactly as directed by a doctor or the product leaflet.
• Comb hair with a fine-toothed nit comb after treatment to remove dead lice and eggs.
• Avoid sharing combs, hats, or pillows to prevent reinfestation.

🩺 When to See a Doctor

• If lice persist after two treatments or if scalp irritation worsens, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and alternative treatments.

Consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and proper management of head lice.
